Ed Waaka

Uncharted territory. Familiar direction. Stripping it back to the bare essentials. Making sound for sound sake. Inspired by my new surroundings and filling the wairua cup so it may overflow on all of those I love.

Thanks for the beautiful Putorino. Back to the ngahere for me. Mauri Ora 🌿

Overwhelmed with the messages of support for my latest release 'E Kura'. Managed to find it's way to the top of the Spotify 'Waiata Reo Māori' Playlist too. 🙏🏽✨🎶

A few people have reached out for the lyrics & Te Reo Māori translation. Hope this helps. ❤️

Aroha nui,
Ed
